The Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary~ 65.5 million years ago marks one of the three largest
mass extinctions in the past 500 million years. The extinction event coincided with a large …

Ocean acidification may have severe consequences for marine ecosystems; however,
assessing its future impact is difficult because laboratory experiments and field observations …

The end-Permian mass extinction was the most severe loss of marine and terrestrial biota in
the last 542 My. Understanding its cause and the controls on extinction/recovery dynamics …

The cause of the end-Cretaceous mass extinction is vigorously debated, owing to the
occurrence of a very large bolide impact and flood basalt volcanism near the boundary …

Mass extinctions manifest in Earth's geologic record were turning points in biotic evolution.
We present 40Ar/39Ar data that establish synchrony between the Cretaceous-Paleogene …

Physiological research aimed at understanding current global change provides a basis for
evaluating selective survivorship associated with Permo-Triassic mass extinction …

The extinction of the dinosaurs and around three-quarters of all living species was almost
certainly caused by a large asteroid impact 66 million years ago. Seismic data acquired …

Ecology Letters (2011) 14: 561–568 Abstract Despite growing attention on the influence of
functional diversity changes on ecosystem functioning, a palaeoecological perspective on …

Fishes include more than half of all living animals with backbones, but large‐scale
palaeobiological patterns in this assemblage have not received the same attention as those …

Deep-sea benthic foraminifera live in the largest habitat on Earth, constitute an important
part of its benthic biomass, and form diverse assemblages with common cosmopolitan …
